Best Answer

The radiosonde is attached helium or hydrogen- filled balloon, generally called a weather balloon, and the balloon lifts the radiosonde to altitudes exceeding 115,000 feet. During the radiosonde's ascent, it transmits data on temperature, pressure, and humidity to a sea-, air-, or land-based receiving station (According to google that is) XD ;)
